to quench your thirst means when your thirsty you drink something to relive your thirst so your not thirsty anymore.
Can a brain lesion cause excessive thirst even if the pituitary gland is normal? Also where would the lesion be located?
Hypothalamus
The nervous system, in particular a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, controls thirst.
You have a thirst centre in the brain. When the osmolarity of the extracellular compartment becomes more, water is drawn out from the cells. The signal is sent to brain and you feel thirst. When ever there is loss of isotonic fluid like happens in cholera, the patient do not complain of thirst. Even with severe dehydration.

Although i haven't seen it done, i'm sure it could be. All that would need to be done is to watch the brain of a person who is, and one who isn't a sociopath, in a social environment. any differences would be tell tail signs
it causes icreased urination duo to hyperosmolarity....that reflexly activates the thirst centre in brain
